Definitions

  • This invention relates to a connection between three elongated structural members, two of the members being laterally disposed away from the third member.
  • the present invention is particularly suited for forming a corner connection of three orthogonally disposed structural members.
  • the present invention uses what is known as a tie or connector for making the connection between the elongated structural members.
  • connectors for joining elongated structural members to each other have been taught.
  • connectors In building construction, where finishing materials will be applied to hide the structural frame, connectors are generally designed for strength and not for aesthetic considerations. Strength and rigidity are generally provided by forming heavy gauge connectors that present large bearing surfaces for the supported structural member and provide lateral bracing to the connected structural members. These connectors often embrace or wrap around three or more sides of the structural materials they connect. The inventor calls these external connectors. Materials for external connectors in construction applications are generally selected for their strength and not their appearance. Generally, external connectors cannot handle members of variable sizes since they are designed to embrace the structural members they connect.
  • the present invention provides a rigid intersection connection in a structure comprising:
  • the present invention also provides a connection between three structural members that uses a partially hidden, internal connector that has load-bearing qualities and rigidity more akin to a connection made with an external connector.
  • An object of the current invention is to provide a connection having a connector or tie that joins two members to a third member, the two members being laterally disposed in relation to the third member.
  • Another object of the current invention is to provide a connection having a tie that interfaces with the hidden or internal faces of the structural members it joins such that the tie is generally hidden from view.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a connection that uses a tie which can be used with structural members of varying sizes.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a corner connection for three structural members that uses a tie and leaves the external or exposed surfaces of the structural members available for the attachment of further members.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a tie for making the connection of the present invention that is economical to produce on automated die press machinery.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a connection that is easily constructed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a rigid connection that can join three orthogonally disposed members.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a rigid connection that allows one of the three members joined to continue past the joint with the other two members.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a tie for making the connection of the present invention that, when installed, will provide the same load bearing qualities no matter how it is oriented with respect to the structural members it connects.
  • the preferred form of a rigid intersection connection constructed according to the present invention has an elongated longitudinal member 1, a first elongated lateral member 4, a second elongated lateral member 7, and a one-piece rigid tie 10 configured for rigidly tying the first and second elongated lateral members 4 and 7 to the elongated longitudinal member 1 with first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fastener means 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25.
  • the elongated longitudinal member 1 has a first side 2, a second side 3 and is made of wood.
  • the first elongated lateral member 4 has a first base side 5, a first flank side 6, a first end 27 and is also made of wood.
  • the first elongated lateral member 4 intersects with the elongated longitudinal member 1, forming a first joint 28 at the interface of the first end 27 of the first elongated lateral member 4 and a portion of the first side 2 of the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • the second elongated lateral member 7 has a second base side 8, a second flank side 9, a second end 29, and is also made of wood.
  • the second elongated lateral member 7 intersects with the elongated longitudinal member 1 at an elevation on the elongated longitudinal member 1 near the first joint 28.
  • the second end 29 of the second elongated lateral member 7 forms a second joint 30 with a portion of the second side 3 of the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • first and second joints 28 and 30 need not be tight.
  • first joint 28 the first end 27 of the first elongated lateral member 4 need not be in perfect continuous contact with the first side 2 of the elongated longitudinal member 1 for a rigid connection to be created. This feature enables the hobbyist who does not have the proper tools for creating a tight joint to create a rigid connection. It is preferred, though, that first and second joints 28 and 30 are as tight as possible.
  • the one-piece rigid tie 10 has a first side attachment tab 11 disposed in registration with a portion of the first side 2 of the elongated longitudinal member 1 and a first base side attachment tab 12 disposed in registration with a portion of the first base side 5 of the first elongated lateral member 4.
  • a first gusset 13 is formed integral with and between the first side attachment tab 11 and the first base side attachment tab 12.
  • screws are used as the first fastener means 20 for attaching the first side attachment tab 11 to the first side 2 of the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • screws are also used as the second fastener means 21 for attaching the first base side attachment tab 12 to the first base side 5 of the first elongated lateral member 4.

  • a second gusset 16 is formed integral with and between the second side attachment tab 14 and the second base side attachment tab 15.
  • screws are used as the third fastener means 22 for attaching the second side attachment tab 14 to the second side 3 of the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • screws are also used as the fourth fastener means 23 for attaching the second base side attachment tab 15 to the second base side 8 of the second elongated lateral member 7.
  • the one-piece rigid tie 10 has a first flank side attachment tab 17 disposed in registration with a portion of the first flank side 6 of the first elongated lateral member 4.
  • a second flank side attachment tab 18 is disposed in registration with a portion of the second flank side 9 of the second elongated later member 7.
  • a third gusset 26 is formed integral with and between the first flank side attachment tab 17 and the second flank side attachment tab 18.
  • screws are used as the fifth fastener means 24 for attaching the first flank side attachment tab 17 to the first flank side 6 of the first elongated lateral member 4.
  • screws are also used as the sixth fastener means 25 for attaching the second flank side attachment tab 18 to the second flank side 9 of the second elongated lateral member 7.
  • a triangular web member 19 is formed integral with and connecting the first gusset 13, the second gusset 16, and the third gusset 26.
  • the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fastener means 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 for connecting the first and second elongated lateral members 4 and 7 by means of the one-piece rigid tie 10 to the elongated longitudinal member 1 can be nails, screws, bolts, adhesives or welds.
  • the elongated longitudinal member 1 and the first and second elongated lateral members 4 and 7 are made from wood.
  • the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fastener means 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are wood screws formed with self-drilling points and relatively flats heads that can receive a Phillips head screw driver.
  • the relatively flat heads present a low profile above the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 of the one-piece rigid tie 10 that is more aesthetically pleasing.
  • the preferred embodiment is formed with openings 34 in the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 for receiving the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth fastener means 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 in close registration.
  • first gusset 13, second gusset 16, and third gusset 26 are triangular in shape. Having first, second and third gussets 13, 16 and 26 that are triangular in shape provides a pleasing appearance while maintaining high rigidity.
  • the preferred embodiment of the one-piece rigid tie 10 is made from 20 Gauge galvanized sheet steel having a yield strength of 28 KSI and an ultimate strength of 38 KSI. Since no welding is required to form the one-piece rigid tie 10, it need not be painted after being formed, which reduces production costs.
  • the preferred embodiment of the one-piece rigid tie connector 10 is formed by cutting a blank 36 in the configuration shown in Figure 7 from galvanized sheet steel.
  • the triangular web member 19 is an equilateral triangle, thus angle 32 is 60°.
  • the first, second and third gussets 13, 16 and 26 are isosceles triangles.
  • the unique angle 31 of the isosceles triangle measures 65° 10' 37".
  • the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 are all similar in shape.
  • Angle 33 is preferably 40° 23' 9". Angles 31, 32 and 33 have been optimized for a one-piece rigid tie 10 that fits nominal 2" x 2" elongated structural members 1, 4 and 7.
  • Openings 34 in the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 are staggered to allow for spacing between screws 20 and 22 in elongated longitudinal member 1, between screws 21 and 24 in first elongated lateral member 4, and between screws 23 and 25 in the second elongated lateral member 7.
  • the one-piece rigid tie connector 10 is formed by bending the blank 36 at selected bend lines 40 and 41.
  • the web member 19 is created by bending the outer portions of the blank 36 down 75° at bend lines 40.
  • the gussets 13, 16 and 26 are differentiated from the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 by bending the portions that will become the attachment tabs 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 up 57° at bend lines 41.
  • the one-piece rigid tie 10 is preferably formed on automated progressive die machinery.
  • a connection formed according to the present invention in the preferred manner is accomplished as follows.
  • a wooden structural member is selected as the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • a one-piece rigid tie 10 formed from a sheet metal blank 36 is set against the elongated longitudinal member 1 with the first and second side attachment tabs 11 and 14 in registration with the first and second sides 2 and 3 of the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • the one-piece rigid tie 10 is positioned so that the first and second base side attachment tabs 12 and 15 are in the proper positions for receiving the first and second base sides 5 and 8 of the first and second elongated lateral members 4 and 7.
  • Wood screws 20 are then driven through the first attachment tab 11 and into the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • Wood screws 22 are then driven through the second attachment tab 14 into the elongated longitudinal member 1.
  • the first elongated lateral member 4 is then placed between the first flank side and first base side attachment tabs 17 and 12 of the one-piece rigid tie connector 1 in the desired position. Wood screws 24 and 21 are then driven through the first flank side and first base side attachment tabs 17 and 12 into the first elongated lateral member 4. Then, the second elongated lateral member 7 is placed between the second flank side and second base side attachment tabs 18 and 15 of the one-piece rigid tie 10 in the desired position. Wood screws 25 and 23 are driven through the second flank side and second base side attachment tabs 18 and 15 into the second elongated lateral member 7, completing the connection.
  • the one-piece, rigid ties 10 are fairly well hidden. Furthermore, facing materials such as plywood sheathing can easily be attached to the stand 35 at the connections, since the one-piece rigid ties do not extend to the exposed or outer faces of the elongated structural members.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show an alternate embodiment of the connection made according to the present invention using a one-piece rigid tie 10' having triangular first, second and third gussets 13', 16' and 26' like the preferred embodiment.
  • the blank 37 for this alternate embodiment is shaped somewhat differently to accommodate bending at different bend angles shown in Figure 10 to form a one-piece rigid tie connection 10'.
